ASUS N61JQ-X1 16-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Dark Brown) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got this. Looked at it for a few days on [...] to get detailed specs and customer reviews before purchasing. I only bought it on amazon because the next day shipping was cheaper (about $[...]) and the computer itself was $[...] less on amazon.
Haven't pushed the pedal to the metal as far as ram, HDD, and CPU go. There is an overclocking speed (called Turbo Boost) that is automatic. With windows 7 (instaleld) the Turbo Boost app lets you see the CPU ramping up. It shows that the CPU rutinely goes up to 2.6 Ghz when opening an application (not very intensive work) so I am not sure how accurate the gadget is, but we'll see. When compared to what else is out there, this coputer has much more for your money and is actually cheaper than many laptops with less power/graphics capability/coolness. Look at the prices at Best Buy for an Core i3 laptop. They are nearly $1000 and don't have as much ram, video memory, or upgrade potential. This is a Core i7, much more powerful and is less than alot of the laptops out there. Plus, Asus has a 1 year accidental warranty. Tops!
Pros:
-Amazon said it would be Brown, mine was black when I got it. Brown is ugly anyway!
- You can create a recovery DVD to fix everything in the event you scrw something up. Also, has a bootup recovery option built in, so even if you don;t have the disks, it can be recovered.
- 1 year replacement/repair "i dropped it in a pool" warranty.
-Shipping. For the price of the computer, get the 30.00 next day. I order by 3:00PM on thursday and had the computer booted up at 3:15PM friday.
-Nice looking computer. Great sound. Great price. (You can get a lesser model without the i7 CPU from Best Buy for 999.00)
-USB 3.0 is nice touch. Cool touchpad with "gesture" recognition.
-I like the screen. The resolution is said to be a little low/poor for the machine, but I do not yet find it to be a problem. You can zoom in and out using the touchpad and gestureing, so if the icons look to big/small, you can change it up without messing with screen resolution. Basically, you can keep it in 1377x768 mode. HD screen looks good to me. Bright too.
-HDMI output! You can hook this thing up to your big ass HD flat screen.
- With Windows 7, some "gadgets" aka iphone style "apps" that can be installed to the desktop require 32bit. This computer has the 64bit Windows 7 so you have to do some playin around to get those gadgets to work. Pandora is one of those. However, you can have a applet for Pandor Radio on the desktop without needing an open internet explorer window. Cool!
- POwer saving one-touch button. NOt sure how effcient it is yet.
- So far, Windows 7 is not that bad. Yet. :)CONS:
- A lot of "bloatware" on this baby. You have to sort throught it all and see what you like/don;t like and uninstall whatever you can live without.
- At initial boot up, 80 processes running! Ouch. 33% of RAM in use. That's over a Gig. Trim down the fat and you should be good.
-The first time I launched the "See how cool this Asus computer is" demo, I needed to lower the volume. Whn I did so, the computer locked up, blaring a annoying sound. I had to hold th epower button for 4 sec to turn off manually. Not cool. After that though, all seems cool.
- The keyboard is a little cheap, has some play to it. Go to Best BUy and type on one of their floor models to see if it is bad for you or not. Not a deal breaker for me, but kinda lame. The "full size keyboard is not true, it is laptop sized with a number padd on the right. The arrow keys (if you play games or use spreadsheets) are small and you can easily miss them and hit the 0 or control key.
- With Windows 7, some "gadgets" aka iphone style "apps" that can be installed to the desktop require 32bit. This computer has the 64bit Windows 7 so you have to do some playin around to get those gadgets to work. Pandora is one of those. However, you can have a applet for Pandor Radio on the desktop without needing an open internet explorer window. Cool!
- A lot of Asus "this and that" programs to deal with. I uninstalled half of them.
BOTTOM LINE:
Buy it. Remove what you don't like. Great deal. If you were going to spend 800, drop an extra 2 bills and get this one. If you were going to spend 1200, save you money and get yourself a case for this one once you buy it.

ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Netbook (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got my 1015PEM on Friday. I created a USB install of Ubuntu and installed a 2GB DDR3 stick of RAM I had.
I'm running the latest Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick 64 bit beta, and it's fantastic! Everything works buttery smooth and is working right off (for those of you also using Ubuntu/Linux, the wireless drivers use the Broadcom STA drivers, just install via ethernet connection at first)
The keys and palmrests of smooth, not shiny, and extra comfortable to type on. I transitioned from a full-sized Mac keyboard to this little guy and had no problems adjusting.
The speakers are LOUD at full volume, for such a little thing. Far outshine my Acer 3810t with 'Dolby Experience'.
The power supply is superbly small.
I've been able to watch hulu, etc, just fine.
Last but not least, youtube 720p flash is a little jittery, but some updates in the future may fix this (this is after all, linux. Flash runs MUCH faster in Windows). Given that, there's really no need for 720p as the screen's resolution maxes out at 1024 by 600, so 480p looks (and works) just fine.
Finally, the battery life is outstanding :)
No regrets!

Macally BOOKSHELL2 Leather Protective Cover for New 13 Inch Aluminum MacBook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)* Fits the new MacBook Pro 13" too (only difference is the laptop "lock" notch near the CD drive is covered.)
* Fits snugly with a slight bit of padding, so you can put your laptop in a backpack or something without scratching it. The case meets very well when the laptop is closed.
* The Apple logo isn't visible (fairly minor) and the sleep light isn't visible. All other ports are easy to access.
* When the screen is 100% tilted back (I don't really tilt my screen this far), it will seal of the rear fan port as the case meets. The rear of the laptop isn't actually covered by the case to allow venting.
* It has a nice, soft feel to it that I like better than a plastic shell. The inside is lined as well.
* Under $30 seems like a great value for this. It has a nice look (black matches the aluminum style).
* I would order this same product again if I needed another. It looks like it could get worn out after a year or two of use, but that's kind of the point of a case.

Toshiba Satellite L655-S5117 15.6-Inch LED Laptop (Fusion Finish in Helios Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Had this computer for a week now, paid $449.99, and have been very happy with it and will list some impressions.
--I3 Processor combined with 4GB of ram results in laptop that is very fast for this price range. Passmark benchmarks show the I3 to be almost half again as fast as the best CPU's from Intel and AMD found in comparably priced laptops.
--Comfortable keyboard w/numeric keypad.
--Numeric keypad makes the computer a little wider than my HP without a keypad. Still fits in my zip up laptop case though.
--Screen is also a little wider, but it does not distort anything displayed.
--Graphics are good. Fine for viewing DVD movies and editing photos. Maybe not so great if you play a lot of demanding games. If so, proceed with caution. Test it or get an opinion from someone who has played the games you are interested in on the computer.
--No HDMI port. I won't miss it. Probably a statement by Toshiba that this is not a game machine.
--Can't comment on the built in camera or the face recognition--haven't tried them yet.
--Card reader only accepts Memory Sticks, MultiMedia Cards or SD cards (standard size only, you need an adapter for the smaller ones). Does not take XD cards which sucks for me because that is what my Olympus camera uses. As long as I don't lose the USB cable that came with it I can still connect through a USB port.
--Onboard speakers are very tinny sounding. Sound can be improved some if your software has an equalizer but only to the point of being just acceptable. Music sounds pretty good through headphones and can be tailored nicely if you have an equalizer. Volume of on board speakers is reasonable but since the speakers point directly at the ceiling, it helps to tilt the screen to about a 45 degree angle so the sound bounces off of it. Can't use the computer for anything else while the screen is tilted.
--Wireless download speed is very good, much better than my desktop, even though it is connecting through a G router.
--Amount of bloatware doesn't seem excessive.
--Getting use to Windows 7 64 bit. Very fast boot speed. Have been able to load most of my software without a problem. Windows 7/64 is ok with the 32 bit software but balks at the older 16 bit. One of my all time favorite programs was Micrografx Picture Publisher but it is one of the 16 bit programs--oh well.
--Top of the computer and most of the inside surfaces are a high gloss finish over a textured surface. Not really wild about it. Shows finger prints and smudges easily. Will show scratches readily if and when they occur. Would have done much better if they had just gone with the textured surface.
--Lid has no latch and I would like it better if it did.
--Battery life seems to be very good. I would estimate 3-4 hours. Haven't used it continuously for that long so it is just an estimate. When it powers down after not being used for a period of time the drain on the battery is very, very low.
--Overall, I don't think you will find a better machine for the price. The processor is very robust and the feature set is good. I wish it had a dedicated video processor, but since my game playing is limited to the likes of solitaire, I don't think it will cause me any problems.

Acer AS5745G-7671 15.6-Inch Laptop - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first time writing a review.
GOOD:
Can play COD:MW2, TF2 in high setting :)
For first time , I actually liked the build quality of this Acer.
Its light weight :O
BAD: I wish it had i5,blu-ray
UGLY: Nothin till now :)
THOUGHTS :-
Intially I was planning to buy another Acer with nvidia GT330M(GT 420M is quite similar in performance )which was 100 buck less with same config.
Why I prefer to take this one ?
- OPTIMUS, this technology is awesome , battery showed me around 4-5hrs
- GT420M , which means DX11 :) (Its a CLASS 2 GFX)
- Dolby digital
- Extra HDD and RAM
BUT:-
I can easily feel hot air(mild) coming from vent within 3-4min of gameplay.I suggest to use laptop cooling pad.
FINALLY:-
Its a great product and very stable. I think it will have a price reduction and that will piss me off since I am the 1st customer at amazon...lol.
I am no brand-conscious guy , I wanna play game this was the cheapest available when I bought it , I GOT IT !

Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro Ergonomic Keyboard and Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm extremely picky about the keyboard and mouse I use. Currently, I'm using the Apple BT Aluminum keyboard and Logitech VX Nano mouse with my Mac. I received this keyboard, expecting to just be able to use it with my Windows system, but how wrong I was...
First, the box is MISLABELED. It says you need a Windows XP or Windows Vista system. LIES. Second, the box shows the keyboard with no Apple-specific commands. LIES. The actual keyboard has the command logo on both Alt keys, as well as the Mac option key on the Windows button.
Bizarrely, the drivers included in the box only are for Windows XP and Windows Vista, which I cannot fathom for the life of me.. Make a quick trip to Logitech.com and download their drivers for the Mac, after which both the keyboard and mouse show up in the little Logitech control panel within System Preferences. Battery level and key bindings are all there and configurable!
Usage for keyboard:
Excellent. I was initially turned off by the layout of the keys, with its slight swoop and dip, but after using it for a bit, it grows on you and you learn to actually like it quite a good deal! The keys are soft, and not too loud, and very tactile. You definitely get the feeling of a quality keyboard. And the palm rest is lovely; a cushion-like affair. It uses two regular Duracell AA batteries.
On the Mac side, all the iTunes keys work, including play/pause/forward/back etc etc, and all the special keys for opening an e-mail or the calculator work, too! You can remap any of the function keys to open any Mac/Windows-specific application you want. Excellent!
The mouse:
A very comfortable mouse, with a "hidden" button where your thumb rests (it opens Expose in Mac OS X by default - nice!). There's not a huge amount to say about the mouse, really. It's sort of a cross between the Logitech MX Revolution (without the thumb wheel), and the VX Revolution. I really like it, and it doesn't suffer from the input lag like the Apple BT mouse does. (Note: This is a right-handed mouse only...)
A very nice feature of the mouse, and this shows that Logitech cares, is that it uses a rechargeable battery. Now that by itself isn't that impressive, but hear me out.... First, it's user-replaceable, and second, it's not just any old generic battery. It's a Sanyo Eneloop AA battery, which is a high-quality battery that suffers very little battery drain when idling. The mouse can be recharged using the included AC adapter, or from your computer. So while it's 2.4Ghz wireless, you can use it while charging it, which is great! The USB cable plugs into the front of the mouse, essentially turning it into a "wired" mouse (though it never actually stops being wireless in the sense that it always uses the 2.4Ghz adapter to connect to your PC/Mac).
Overall, I can't even begin to state how impressive this set is. That said, someone at Logitech needs a good slap on the wrist to update the box to specify that this keyboard/mouse set really is DESIGNED for Mac OS as much as it is for Windows XP or Vista.
I can't recommend this mouse and keyboard highly enough. 5/5
**EDIT**
Logitech, for no apparent reason, has updated their driver release from 2.6 to 2.7 for Macs, removing support for this keyboard/mouse set! If you want to be able to customize buttons etc on the keyboard/mouse, be sure to find the Logitech Control Center 2.6, not the latest (as of March 24, 2009) 2.7 version. I'm following up with Logitech about this madness...

ASUS Eee Top ET2010PNT-B027E 20-Inch Touchscreen All-in-One Desktop PC (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product is well executed, with nice finish, very quiet, and brilliant display. Unfortunately my unit was defective, having the display front buttons acting erratically. The support team from Asus was very quick to confirm the issue, and approve a return code, although Amazon will gracefully receive it back for a full refund.
Few more items on the negative side:
- The PC does not come with any recovery discs, so you need to make sure you make your own in case the drive goes dead. It has a recovery partition though, which can restore it at the factory state quite easily.

- The system come loaded with ASUS application manager which I found it to be absolutely useless, but unfortunately it cannot be uninstall as it disables the wireless adapter, so you need to live with it.

- The volume of the built in speakers is very weak. My laptop speakers are more powerful.

Apple 85W MagSafe Replacement Power Adapter for MacBook Pro 13 15 and 17 Inch Series Laptops Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product looks similar to the Mac item, but does not have the same feel and weight. I used the item only 4 times at a second office. When unplugging on the 4th use, the entire plug portion broke apart. Very poorly made.

Lenovo ThinkPad X201i 3249MDU 12.1-Inch Laptop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I feel compelled to write a review about the best laptop I've ever owned. I opted to get the low-end X201i (as opposed to more expensive X201 models). For around $850 my machine came with Windows 7 Pro and a camera.
I'm a trial lawyer and depend upon laptops for spreadsheets, videos and document data bases. For the past ten years I've relied upon various Lenovo products, but lately been unable to find one small enough, cheap enough and fast enough. Until now.
The X201i is far superior than the netbooks I've been using, and helpfully smaller than Lenovo's other laptops I've been using.
The X201i, although perhaps not having the same sturdy feel as more expensive Lenovo laptops, is quite durable. It isn't all that stylish, and is a throwback to Lenovo laptops I used 8 years ago, but it does it all.
Mine came with the 9 cell battery, which is way more than enough for long cross-country flights. In fact, it replaces my netbook which I would carry around for hours for light reading and notes. It replaces my more robust and larger Lenovos used for database work.
Another reason why I vastly prefer this small notebook over the netbooks is the pointer stick which to me is the most efficient way of mousing around a laptop

iLuv 9.7 Inch Neoprene Sleeve for iPad and iPad 2 - Floral Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, so I'll say this up front. This sleeve is perfectly functional, and for under $15, it's not a bad, but if you're looking for something high-quality, this isn't it.
The case is only padded on one side (presumably the side you'd put the screen towards.) so this case is not in any way designed to protect your iPad from being dropped. The foam is thicker than what you typically see in neoprene sleeves, but it's not a fabric-based foam, but a plastic based foam, more like you would see in shipping boxes.... Which means that it's designed for short term abuse, not long-term wear and tear. If you're not particularly hard on your cases, it's probably good enough. The foam is also not sewn into the case, but is held in place by s strip of material at the mouth of the case, so if the foam starts to break down, you really cant continue using the sleeve without buying new foam.
The unpadded side of the case appears to have some stiff cloth or paper inside the lining, so there is a slight crumpling sound when the side is bent or moved. It's not in and of itself a big deal, but I cant figure out what the purpose for it is.
The case itself appears to be sewn well, with the exception of the pockets on the unpadded side. The mouths of the pockets are cut straight into the neoprene, with no trim or hemming done to them. Neoprene typically doesn't fray much, but I will point out that fresh out of the box, there were already a few stray threads around the two pockets. I imagine that extensive use of these pockets might cause more problems with the untrimmed pocket openings.All that said, the iPad does fit snugly into the sleeve, and the zipper's teeth are plastic, which reduces the chance of your iPad getting scratched when putting it in or taking it out of the case. If you're looking for an inexpensive case to keep your iPad from getting scratched when you're toting it around, this case will probably work. If your looking for more protection from drops or other impact, you probably want to look at a higher end case.

Laptop Keyboard for HP Pavilion DV6000 DV6100 DV6200 DV6300 DV6400 DV6500 DV6600 Series, HP Compaq Presario V6200 V6300 V6400 V6500 Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After my cat decided to use my laptop (Compaq V6000) as his own "hot spot"... and then proceeded to take several keys with him when I picked him up; I needed a replacement. This keyboard was a perfect fit.
Now then, if you're wondering about how much fun this is to install, I'd say plenty. If you're good at marking down where every screw came from and can feel around for anything you missed (easy to do) without getting frustrated and just yanking, you'll do fine. Otherwise, buy this keyboard and take it to a repair shop, you'll probably save quite a bit on the repair if you already have the part (I've worked for repair shops and they usually like to mark everything up a little). It took me maybe half-an-hour to pop the old one out and get the new one in. Worked perfectly first try, no complaints at all!
